It all began at a printing company where I worked as a printing press operator. Ellen, with her keen eye for detail, was in Quality Control, ensuring perfection in every print. She caught my eye from the start, but with the years between us, I didn't dare to entertain the idea of pursuing her.

One day, whispers of her interest reached my ears through friends, urging me to take a chance. Despite my hesitations, I mustered the courage to approach her one day with an awesome (obviously...) pickup line that broke the ice. Little did I know, that single line would set the stage for a love story spanning more than half a decade now!

As time passed, our connection grew stronger, and all of my anxieties about our age faded away. Five years flew by in a blur of shared laughter, silly moments, fun trips, and dreams of the future. And before I knew it, there I was, down on one knee, asking Ellen to be my partner for life. As she said yes, I knew that our love story, born in the halls of a printing company, was starting a new and even more exciting chapter!
